It is with great sadness I am learning of Art's passing. I will always remember Art as a dedicated teacher to the sport of quad roller skating.
I loved going to Scooter's Roller Rink and seeing the happy dedicated (to each other and skating)couple. If I was waltzing and I noticed that Art was watching, I would straighten up my posture and leg a little bit more. I would be worried about what he would say later. Art, you will be truly missed. God Bless You!! Rest in Peace unless there is a rink in Heaven, in that case, skate your a-- off. Love you and miss you. Judy Kumor

"R.I.P. Art. You will be missed dearly, and the sport of roller skating has lost"
